A tragic road accident occurred today, Sunday 14 May, on the A30 motorway, at the Mercato San Severino junctionin the province of Salerno: a 13-year-old girl sadly died, while four other people were injured, three of them in serious condition.
The dynamics of what happened are still unclear, but from an initial reconstruction only one car would be involved in the accident. At kilometer 52,600, the car – which was proceeding in a northerly direction – for reasons still under investigation, impacted the two guardrails of the roadway and overturned. The 13-year-old was thrown out of the passenger compartment and unfortunately died instantly: the timely intervention of the 118 doctors was useless.
